Heehee, I know the dub/sub issue bothers you, too... man, there's SO much subtitled content (non-anime) on Netflix instant watch, but it's dang near impossible to craft AND read subtitles.
Will it not annoy you if I ask if you have any insight on the toning-down of the cuteness of voices in American versions? That is the ONLY THING that keeps me from watching series lately. (Because if I'm gonna watch TV, I'm going to craft, so I'm just NOT going to watch a series that I have to pay close attention to.) It bugs me so much to see a shojo without suitably impish cutesy little-girl voices for the impish cutesy little-girl characters. (Or at least a voice that seems appropriate -- I remember the English Chobits wasn't as girly-girly-breathy as the Japanese, but the voice actress really fit Chii's character and it was fine.) I wish there were a ratings site JUST FOR THAT.
All I want out of any media, ever, is the cuteness factor.
